Dell launches new budget 1080p gaming monitor with an ultra-fast 240Hz refresh rate for less than $130
According to LG, gamers can expect enhanced smoothness, motion clarity, and overall responsiveness, which is crucial in competitive environments. When a player or object quickly moves across the display, it should stay sharper and easier to spot instead of turning into a blur. To ensure visual precision and motion clarity, the monitor comes with LG’s Motion Blur Reduction Pro technology, which is said to reduce the smearing or blur effect that is usually seen in fast-paced action games. The IPS panel on the monitor also comes with a special low-reflection film to help in consistent color reproduction and reduce glare.
The company has also added some AI features to the monitor, including AI Scene Optimization that is said to add “visual realism and depth” by automatically adjusting picture settings based on the game genre. There is also AI Sound that can provide a spatial audio experience paired with clearer in-game communications when used with compatible headsets.
In terms of design, the monitor comes with a sleek stand and a minimal base footprint to maximize desktop real estate, along with calibration indicators for precise height, swivel, and tilt adjustments. There’s also some adjustable RGB lighting at the back for added gamer flair. Expect the UltraGear 25G590B to launch sometime during the second half of 2026, which is probably when LG will share more information around its pricing.
